October 2012 is like, the month of update heaven. Let’s see:

Raspbmc released RC5
OpenELEC released version 2.0
Canonical is releasing Ubuntu’s Quantal Quetzal version 12.10 tomorrow

And my Nexus S just got a minor update to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (from 4.1.1) today.

What is it about October 2012 anyway??

Let’s see: Jelly Bean 4.1.2 is a minor update, hence the tiny incremental change from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. What’s new in this version? Well, like I pointed out, not much.

Paraphrasing from Wikipedia, here’s what’s new in 4.1.2:

• Lock/home screen rotation support for the Nexus 7
• Single-finger gestures to expand or collapse notifications
• Some bug fixes and tweaks for better performance

Alright, that was closer to copying than paraphrasing. I did cite the source, so take off the handcuffs. Thank you.

Updates are fun. Up next: Key Lime Pie?
